The one person in the video certainly does make an extremely valid point about the environmental impacts of film photography. I'm certainly no Greta Thunberg, but given the way that the world is moving, film photographers can certainly expect to see a backlash against them from the environmental movements and either legally, or financially, they'll be out of a hobby.
I think it goes without saying that the point of the video (rather the resurgence in general) isn't casual snaps, but something much less tangible.
But insofar as the environmental aspect brought up by that particular instructor late in the video, I fundamentally disagree, and emphatically. There are so, so many ongoing industrial and consumer practices that are
exponentially more harmful across as many industries that require attention long before anyone should bother even
investigating film's impact. As one pointed out, there are multitudes of household cleaning products still in use by orders of magnitude that are as bad or more impactful. This isn't to say a more green approach shouldn't be explored, but realistically film production and use is a drop in an ocean.
